Don't worry, he is about to age ten years in the next two. Name one president in the last fifty years who hasn't spent pretty much his entire second term wallowing around in the mud of politics and scandal while accomplishing very little.

Yes he is EASILY the most antagonistic President since FDR. And Wilson before that. That's just his temperament. He is a student of Alinsky and specifically agit-prop and political theatre. It's not accidental, it's his DNA. And it will be his undoing. You can't keep poking the other guy in the chest and walk away unscathed. It's just a matter of time before the bill comes due.

quote:He's the guy who keeps poking you in the chest. His temperament is incompatible with leadership in a Democracy. He'd be a great dictator in some two-bit Carribean Island. He is fundamentally a bully and he is motivated by resentment. I suspect things end messily for him. Karma will catch up to him. You can't outrun karma.

Pretty good assessment...I think you are right- at some point, even the media will not be able to protect him. I still think he is over his head & doesn't have a clue as to what he is doing...Obama and leadership?

Obama wasn't exactly the most accomodating of politicians when he was a Senator. He was condescending and antagonistic then, so why would anyone expect him to grow accomodating after getting the ego boost of winning two Presidential elections? His picture should be in the dictionary under the entry for Hubris.
